The Brazilian believes he can learn from the two wingers and says the competition between the three of them will be "healthy"
Douglas Costa has admitted he is relishing the competition between himself, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben at Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga champions completed the signing of the winger on a five-year deal from Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this month.
Bayern boss Pep Guardiola admitted his side need Costa's ability in
one-on-one situations, with the Brazilian set to compete with Ribery and
Robben for a wide role.
And rather than be daunted by the challenge, Costa believes the experience will only improve him as a player
"I think I came here to learn a lot too, and with Franck here, with
Robben, they are the best players you have in the world and are examples
to be followed by me and by young players arriving at the club," he
said.
"I think it will be a healthy competition, I see no problem with that.
"I came here and met all the people in different positions who
received me very well. It makes it easier, I think my first day was a
lot of learning, I got to know my team-mates, my coach. I think I will
match the expectations at the right time."
Costa also spoke of his excitement at helping Bayern challenge for
major honours, adding: "I never imagined being able to wear this shirt,
but it's a dream what I'm doing. I hope to win a lot of trophies and to
be able to please the fans."
